Amazon Simple Storage Service¶

Description¶

For information about using the Amazon S3 API—including authentication, signing requests, code examples, and error handling—see the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.

Welcome to the Amazon S3 API Reference. This guide explains the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) application programming interface (API).

Welcome to the Amazon S3 API Reference. This guide explains the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) application programming interface (API).

You can use any toolkit that supports HTTP to use the REST API. You can even use a browser to fetch objects, as long as they are anonymously readable.

The REST API uses the standard HTTP headers and status codes, so that standard browsers and toolkits work as expected. In some areas, we have added functionality to HTTP (for example, we added headers to support access control). In these cases, we have done our best to add the new functionality in a way that matched the style of standard HTTP usage.

The current version of the Amazon S3 API is 2006-03-01.

Amazon S3 supports the REST API.

Support for SOAP over HTTP is deprecated, but it is still available over HTTPS. However, new Amazon S3 features will not be supported for SOAP. We recommend that you use either this REST API or the Amazon Web Services SDKs.

Usage¶

s3(config = list(), credentials = list(), endpoint = NULL, region = NULL)

Arguments¶

• config

  Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.

  • credentials:
    • creds:
      • access_key_id: AWS access key ID
      • secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
      • session_token: AWS temporary session token
    • profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
    • anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
  • endpoint: The complete URL to use for the constructed client.
  • region: The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
  • close_connection: Immediately close all HTTP connections.
  • timeout: The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.
  • s3_force_path_style: Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.
  • sts_regional_endpoint: Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
  • use_dual_stack: Set this to true to use the dualstack (IPv4 and IPv6) endpoint for a service, where available, falling back to the regular endpoint when it isn't. Defaults to the AWS_USE_DUALSTACK_ENDPOINT environment variable when unset.

• credentials

  Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter

  • creds:
    • access_key_id: AWS access key ID
    • secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
    • session_token: AWS temporary session token
  • profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
  • anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.

• endpoint

  Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.

• region

  Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.

Value¶

A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned to the client. The available operations are listed in the Operations section.
